2. An Advance Quality Planning Tool used to evaluate Potential Failure Modes and their
Causes.
An FMEA (Failure Mode and Effect Analysis) is a systematic method of identifying
and preventing product and process problems before they occur. FMEAs are focused
on preventing defects, enhancing safety, quality and increasing customer
satisfaction.
A technique…
To improve system performance or
To design systems that would resist failure
Prioritizes Potential Failures according to their risk and drives action to
eliminate or reduce their likelihood of occurrence
Serves as a disciplined methodology for documenting this analysis for future use
and continuous process improvement
Is NOT a problem solver but is used in combination with other problem solving
tools.
“The FMEA presents the opportunity but does not solve the problem”
WHAT IS AN FMEA?
3. FAILURE MODE & EFFECT ANALYSIS
(FMEA): DEFINITION
“FMEA is a systematic and analytical quality
planning technique at the product, design,
process and service stages assessing what
potentially could go wrong and thereby
aiding faulty diagnosis. The objective is to
classify all possible failures according to their
effect measured in terms of severity,
occurrence and detection and then find
solutions to eliminate or minimize them.”

5. FAILURE MODE & EFFECT ANALYSIS
(FMEA): TYPES OF FMEA
There are five types of FMEA as given below:
1. System: focuses on global system function
2. Design: focuses on components and subsystems
3. Process: focuses on manufacturing & assembly processes
4. Service: focuses on service functions
5. Software: focuses on software function
Same Strategy… Different Tactics
6. STEP1: Determine the process / design component to be
considered
The use of process flow diagrams provide a process
overview at a glance and shows process functions/behaviors
The conduct of FMEA is limited to the current level of
understanding of process behaviors. Anything beyond the
level of comprehension at a time of drafting should not be
included.
FAILURE MODE & EFFECT ANALYSIS
7. When defining failure modes - assume prior steps and incoming materials
are perfect.
STEP 2: Brainstorm potential failure modes generated by the process
/ product design
FAILURE MODE & EFFECT ANALYSIS
8. An effect of a failure is the consequence(s) of a failure mode
that would be noticed or experienced at the next station, or a
subsequent operation, by a downstream user or by the
ultimate customer.
Customers are defined as next-in-line customer or the end-
user.
Look at effects from within, up to the next immediate
process. If the particular failure mode has experiences of
ending up at the customer, indicate a note to properly effect
the severity rating.
Consider: next user, downstream user, ultimate customer,
product operation, safety, government regulations
STEP 3: Identify potential effects of each failure mode
FAILURE MODE & EFFECT ANALYSIS
10. RATING DEGREE OF SEVERITY LIKELIHOOD OF
OCCURRENCE
ABILITY TO DETECT
1 Customer will not notice the adverse effect or it
is insignificant.
Likelihood of occurrence is
remote.
Sure that the potential failure will be found or
prevented before reaching the next customer.
2 Customer will probably experience slight
annoyance.
Low failure rate with
supporting documentation.
Almost certain that the potential failure will be
found or prevented before reaching the next
customer.
3 Customer will experience annoyance due to
slight degradation of performance.
Low failure rate without
supporting documentation.
Low likelihood that the potential failure will reach
the next customer undetected.
4 Customer dissatisfaction due to reduced
performance.
Occasional failures. Controls may not detect or prevent the potential
failure from reaching the next customer.
5 Customer is made uncomfortable or their
productivity is reduced by the continued
degradation of the effect.
Relatively moderate failure rate
with supporting
documentation.
Moderate likelihood that the potential failure will
reach the next customer.
6 Warranty repair or significant manufacturing or
assembly complaint.
Moderate failure rate without
supporting documentation.
Controls are unlikely to detect or prevent the
potential failure from reaching the next customer.
7 High degree of customer dissatisfaction due to
component failure without complete loss of
function. Productivity impacted by high scrap
or rework levels.
Relatively high failure rate with
supporting documentation.
Poor likelihood that the potential failure will be
detected or prevented before reaching the next
customer.
8 Very high degree of dissatisfaction due to the
loss of function without a negative impact on
safety or governmental regulations.
High failure rate without
supporting documentation.
Very poor likelihood that the potential failure will
be detected or prevented before reaching the next
customer.
9 Customer endangered due to the adverse
effect on safe system performance with
warning before failure or violation of
governmental regulations.
Failure is almost certain based
on warranty data or significant
DV testing.
Current controls probably will not even detect the
potential failure.
10 Customer endangered due to the adverse
effect on safe system performance without
warning before failure or violation of
governmental regulations.
Assured of failure based on
warranty data or significant DV
testing
Absolute certainty that the current controls will
not detect the potential failure.
11. Severity is a rating corresponding to the seriousness of an effect of a
potential failure mode.
Step 4: Determine the SEVERITY of the effect
FAILURE MODE & EFFECT ANALYSIS
12. Cause
A deficiency that results in a failure mode. It is description
of how the process could result in a failure.
Be specific! General statements such as “equipment
malfunction” must not be used
Use only first level causes for this analysis
Step 5: Determine potential cause for each failure mode
FAILURE MODE & EFFECT ANALYSIS
13. Occurrence
The number of times the cause has resulted in the failure mode
before any additional process control are applied.
The rating should be based on actual records such as machine
downtime report, process yield and defects report, SPC log of
activities, extent of reworks, production reports, etc.
The occurrence rating of each cause should reflect the relative
occurrence of both the failure and cause.
Step 6: Rank the Occurrence of each Cause
FAILURE MODE & EFFECT ANALYSIS
14. Detection
Detection is rating corresponding to the likelihood that
current process will detect the failure mode before it gets
to the customer
Step 7: Identify process / design controls currently used to DETECT
the failure mode or PREVENT the cause
FAILURE MODE & EFFECT ANALYSIS
15. For RPN calculation purpose, the following must be observed:
The largest severity score will be used from among the severity score
The largest occurrence rating will be applied for calculation
However, for detection score - the lowest score is utilized
RPN = S X O X D
Step 8: Calculate RPN
FAILURE MODE & EFFECT ANALYSIS
16. Corrective action measures must be taken to reduce the risk for the following conditions:
It belongs to the top 3 RPN’s (but not necessary)
RPN >100.
The purpose of any action is to reduce the occurrence and/or detection ranking. The action
plan should include
Recommended action: must be defined to reduce the risk associated
Responsibility - the organization and/or individual responsible for the action and the
target date of completion
Action taken - a brief description of the actual completed action and the effective date
Resulting RPN - after C/A has been taken, the occurrence and detection ranking must be
defined and the RPN recalculated
STEP 9: Plan appropriate Corrective Action based on RPN
